Market News In 2 Minutes @ 1st July 2014

Market News in 2 minutes
As stock investors (even though a small one), it is important to keep abreast with the latest financial and market news. Since I am in it, I thought it might be worthwhile to share it out with my readers too.

Hence, I started this "Market News In 2 Minutes" series.
 
Following are the "Market News In 2 Minutes" for today :
 
1. CitySpring Infrastructure Trust said it has entered into a joint venture with Japanese construction company Shimizu Corp to develop a data centre in Singapore for around $130 million. After completion, the joint venture will lease the data centre to 1-Net Singapore, a subsidiary of MediaCorp. (source : The Edge)

2. Frasers Hospitality Trust, the hotels and serviced residences real estate investment trust (REIT), said its international placement of 139.6 million stapled securities at 88 cents each was 21 times subscribed.
